I would suggest commenting out the UP, DOWN, LEFT, and RIGHT entries for
your remote on your .lircrc and see what happens. It looks like the
remote is being seen as a keyboard as well, so you're getting an UP
signal from two sources. It happened to me on my latest remote (also
mceusb), and this is how I quick-fixed it.

I am implementing MythTV (ver 0.24.1) on a Mageia 1 installation. Going
pretty well, but the mcseusb remote is skipping pretty badly on the
menus using lirc (0.9.0).
I've tried to edit ~/.mythtv/lircrc file to stop it with repeat and
delay tokens. See this example:
begin
prog = mythtv
button = Up
config = Up
repeat = 0
delay = 300
end
This is having no effect at all. I don't know whether I'm getting the
syntax wrong, putting them in the wrong place, or what but it's not working.
Can someone point me in the right direction here?
Thanks.

I'm still seeing this issue and I'm googling around and trying to get
settings to work in these files. I've gone back to the vanilla lircrc
file without repeat or delay settings (they just don't seem to do anything.
At this point, if I start an ssh session to the htpc and run irw in it,
I can see button presses just fine and they correspond to the things I'm
trying to do. However, if I start irw on the htpc and start pressing
some keys (the arrow keys specifically), I see the keypresses for up,
down, left and right preceeded by ^[[A, ^[[B, ^[[D and ^[[C
respectively. Generally there are multiple ^[[X codes that get spit out
before the actual code for the button's operation show up.
So, this may be why the remote selection is bouncing around all over the
place. This is really annoying and I'd like any help that you folks can
send my way.
Thanks.

I would suggest commenting out the UP, DOWN, LEFT, and RIGHT entries for
your remote on your .lircrc and see what happens. It looks like the

signal from two sources. It happened to me on my latest remote (also

Okay, I commented out the up, down, left, and right entries in the
lircrc and lircd.conf files. At this point, irw reads no input from
those 4 buttons, but the buttons still work in Mythtv, and they still
jump so badly as to make the functions barely usable.
If those functions are disabled, and irw isn't seeing them, what is
allowing those buttons to move the selection in MythTV? Any help
appreciated.
Thanks.
Mark

Okay, stand down. I fixed it.
After much putzing around with .lircrc settings I finally got to this:
begin
prog = mythtv
button = Right
config = Right
repeat = 5
delay = 5
end
Adding the repeat and delay settings did it. I'm not totally sure it it
takes both or if just one will do, I'm tired and I've been screwing with
this for far too long. At this point, it works like I want it to and
I'm calling it good, though I may back the 5 down to a 3 to see how that
works.
Thanks for the attention on this.
